I've never dug an overhead style camera, and use "broadcast" type cameras only. While installing the game, I liked "Nosebleeds" a lot, then practiced for 2-3 hours, got online, and was surprised and disappointed to see after downloading/installing/practicing for that long, I dig into the only mode I'll ever play (online head-to-head) and I can't use it (?)!
Anyhow, I know all my online opponents use a 2k (or similar) view because they're constantly (100%, all the time) pushing the ball up hard on every possession. Just running, running, running. I'm not digging it, as it puts me at an unfair advantage that I can't see up court on defense, or even on my own offense possessions.
What am I to do? I don't take any satisfaction from playing the CPU, never have even as a kid playing games in the 1980's. I'm trying to mimic what I see on TV as far as what it looks like (strictly speaking of camera angle on this point). Am I just screwed unless I learn to love the overhead style cameras? I've been alive long enough to know I won't learn to love them, and am past the point of even considering it. I'm faced with this every year and I'm surprised that I keep having to remember every year that this is a major problem. I must have a terrible memory.
I think online play should give me an option to filter out opponents with 2k cam. Like 2k cam (and all other overhead, full court views) are selectable and enforced for both players, or not useable for either player.
Also, how many years now must I sit idle while my opponent pauses and goes through options? In NBA Live 10, if the opponent paused, I had the option to also do the same - which killed two birds with one stone -- I'm no longer sitting idle and frozen to my opponent, and also eliminated the need for more wasted time when I subsequently hit "pause" at my first chance after his unfreeze.
While I'm on it, let me SAVE my settings or official lineup (so long as no one in the lineup is injured or traded of course). Why do I gotta waste a strangers time for every game when I'm just changing or correcting the settings to the same values for every damn game?
